Room cleaning is average. They did not properly vacuumed and did not clean bathroom. Aircond is a bit noisy. Shower was leaked. Safe had batteries taped at the back. There was no cover lol. Dinning option should include small healthy bites. Restaurants were good. Overall the place is excellent and staffs were wonderful. We loved kayak, observatory, rain forest walk and last minute buggy ride. Wonderful people. We will visit again.

Great stay, from the start all staff made us feel special But ended on a bad note… The departure was not handled well - no one to help with bags, staff member MIA then advised no bag assistance but made a big deal about coming down to walk us to ferry line! For those who need assistance with bags it apparently is dependent on the ferry used for transfer or whether staff can be bothered.

We booked an ocean view room and got a pool view. The water sports were located at the other end of the resort where the old resort was located which was all boarded up and looked like the cyclone just hit it again. TV didn’t work, fan in bathroom didn’t work. The room was dirty and the balcony was filthy. Staff were amazing and very accommodating where possible. As a couple without kids I would not recommend. Also the ferry fares are very expensive.

Very limited options at the Infinity restaurant considering the prices. The food looked great but was consistently disappointing. Very similar experience at the Salti restaurant. The pizzas were good though. It was also surprising that the resorts dedicated Tour and Activities desk weren't able to arrange activities for us. Instead, they advised us to call companies to arrange this ourselves. They didn't seem to appreciate that the "cheap local call" would mean having to buy a Roaming package for out mobiles, which was definitely not expected to be necessary when staying at the resort. Every day we were told the jetskis were either unavailable because it was too windy, or they were fully booked. However, the jetskis were parked up and unused, whilst we could see people from other resorts using jetskis on the water. There was clearly an issue with the management or operation of the service and it was very disappointing and frustrating to hear them being dishonest about it. Cocktails were expensive, very underwhelming, and the customer service was appalling. As there was very little else to do, due to the windy conditions and lack of jetskis, this could have been something fun for us and lucrative for them, but everyone missed out on the opportunity. Areas of the resort were very run down and derelict. Having somewhat splashed out on this rare treat for the family and not spared the expenses, it was very disappointing and did not live up to the reviews I'd read.
